What is behavioural advertising?

Online behavioural advertising (also known as interest-based advertising) is a way of serving advertisements on the websites you visit and making them more relevant to you and your interests. Behavioural advertising works by grouping web users with shared interests together based on their previous browsing activity, and then serving advertisements to those users to match their interests. In this way, advertising can be made as relevant and useful as possible. Relevant advertisements can also be delivered based upon the website content you have just been viewing. This is known as retargeting.
